Answer:
No, the rate is not proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 45 marbles in 9 bags, we can assume that there are 5 marbles in each bag.
Going by that rate, we can do 5 * 36 = 180, NOT 150.
Thus, the rate is not proportional.
Another way to solve would be to do 45/9 and 150/36. If the rate is proportional, the answer for both should be the same.
However, 45/9=5 and 150/36=4.16666666667.
Those two answers are NOT equal.
Thus, the rate is not proportional.
